[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OT is only a degree offered at the Masters level in the US.  It is extremely competitive to get accepted to.  [/quote]

No it isn't EXTREMELY competitive. Not easy to get into either, but no need to be melodramatic. Several people I know who were not good students and couldn't even consider applying to medical school became OTs. A friend of mine who has a undergrad degree in nursing couldn't get into any NP programs so she eventually switched course and became an OT. She found the nursing school demands way more challenging.

How long ago? Because I can tell you that it is nearly impossible to get into a masters program for OT or ST without a 4.0 or very close to it. Most schools get an average of 400-500 applicants for about 20-40 spots per school. So yes it is EXTREMELY competitive. It gets harder each and every year. Your comment is offensive. And yes, I'm a therapist who worked very very hard all through school to be able to get into the field I wanted. [/quote]
